JamarioP.Jul 16, 2008I here a lot of negative things about this album, but i thinks it's really good. It's a much mire mature album than he has ever made before. And he has some really nice tracks on here. I think people should definitely sit and listen to the words he speak in this album.

latriceh.Jun 1, 2008I am a big usher fan and this album compared to the past ones is horrible....Trading places is a good song...moving mountains is good too(althought the video is horrible) I love Usher truly but I am very disappointed in the quality of music that was released after a 4 year break. I hope the next one is better because I expect more of him and I know he can do better.

marionc.May 30, 2008Of course it won't sell or be a spopular as confessions or 8701 bc the radio played so many big singles but overall this was a good cd.

DJKNIGHTXIIIMay 27, 2008Lovely album from Usher. If we are just to talk about the stunning ballad Moving mountains then the album deserves a 10 for that track alone.

Here I Stand is almost exactly the kind of release you'd expect a 29-year-old Usher to deliver in 2008, and while it is seriously doubtful the album will move more copies than the nearly diamond platinum "Confessions," there is plenty to like about it.
-
After a four-year break, Usher's fifth set is bursting with grown man, true-to-life tales like leaving his player ways behind ("Before I Met You"), falling in love ("Something Special," "Lifetime" and the title track), making love ("This Ain't Sex") and having a child.
-
Usher has called Here I Stand his “grown and sexy” album, and he’s half right. Apart from a couple of Aup-tempo tracks by Danjahandz (“Appetite”) and Scandinavians-of-the-moment Stargate (“What’s a Man to Do”), the production is cocktail-lounge crunk, full of splashy cymbals, jazzy electric guitar and tinkly pianos.
